Yust Like a Voman!

Two Minnesota mechanical engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking up. A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.

“Vell, ve're supposed to find da height of da flagpole,” said Sven, 'but ve don't have a ladder.”

The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a few bolts, and laid the pole down.
Then she took a tape measure from her pocketbook, stretched it over the pole, announced, “Eighteen feet, six inches,” and walked away.

Ole shook his head and laughed. “Ain't dat yust like a voman! Ve ask for da height and she gives us da lengt!”

Sven and Ole are currently working for the Minnesota Department of Transportation designing "round-a-bouts."
